Thousands of “No Kings” rallies kicked off nationwide on Saturday against President Trump and his policies.
Defiant Democrats have embraced this weekend’s protests, while GOP lawmakers bash the protests as “hate America” demonstrations. “Showing up to express dissent against an out-of-control administration, that’s as American as motherhood, baseball and apple pie,” House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) said Friday.
Saturday’s protests follow a series of June marches that coincided with the U.S. Army’s 250th anniversary military parade in Washington, D.C., which also happened to be Trump’s 79th birthday.
The rallies are taking place amidst the government shutdown as well federal troop deployments across the country.
Insurrection 2025
The Insurrection Act of 1807 has suddenly popped into the news again. It is a quick way to get into Martial Law, and has been in the news a number of times in the past few years. Let’s revisit the issues and see if this time, in 2025, will be different. The Insurrection Act or 1807 was frequently mentioned then the 2020 election was stolen from President Trump, and again in 2021 when the National Guard was called up for January 6 unrest in Washington DC. Now we have the National Guard in a number of cities. Are we poised for Martial Law again?

SINGAPORE — Indonesia on Wednesday signed a $325.0 million contract with Airbus Military for nine C-295 transport planes to be used for defence, logistical and humanitarian purposes.
The first plane will be sent to the Southeast Asian nation this year, with the remainder scheduled for delivery by 2014.
"This is a proud moment for our country as well as for the Indonesian aerospace industry," said Indonesian Defence Minister Purnomo Yusgiantoro, at the signing of the deal at the Singapore Airshow.
"The C-295 provides the ideal capacity to respond to Indonesia's current and future military and humanitarian transport needs," he added.
The model is a medium-sized transport plane which can be configured for different operational purposes such as ground surveillance, anti-submarine warfare and search and rescue operations.
The planes will be used for "a variety of roles including military, logistical, humanitarian and medical evacuation missions," according to a statement.
Yusgiantoro did not rule out future purchases of the C-295, saying other branches of the armed forces were interested in the plane.
"The police for instance... are also interested in this. And you know that (the) 295 version that we ordered now is for the Air Force, and probably the army is also interested," he said.
The deal includes a collaboration between state-owned aviation firm PT Dirgantara Indonesia (PTDI) and Airbus Military, with Indonesia manufacturing parts for the C-295.
The partnership will allow the Indonesian firm to "grow its aerospace business as a tier-one supplier," said PTDI Chief Executive Budi Santoso.
"This will position PTDI on the global aerospace scene and allow us to enhance our skills and workforce," he added.
Indonesia's defence budget totalled $6.39 billion in 2011, ranking second in Southeast Asia behind Singapore

Crowds across Russia braved the bitter cold to protest against the prime minister a month before a presidential election that Vladimir Putin is still expected to win. The march - which drew 120,000 people, according to organisers - was the third mass demonstration since Mr Putin's party won a parliamentary election on December 4 with the help of what appeared to be widespread fraud.

The new immigration policy announced by Britain shows that only wealthy immigrants are welcome and also puts in a cap on non EU immigrants.
CNN-IBN live news said as follows.
PTI | 07:02 PM,Feb 02,2012
From Prasun Sonwalkar London, Feb 2 (PTI) In a move bound to create ripples, Britain today announced a shift of focus in its immigration policy which now seeks to welcome only those Indian and other non-EU immigrants "who add to the quality of life" barring others with a low income potential. Two proposals outlined in a major speech by Immigration Minister Damian Green are likely to affect Indian professionals and migrants. The government has already announced its intention to scrap the Post-Study Work visa for non-EU students, which has been popular among Indians. Non-EU professionals whose annual income at the end of mandatory five years work and stay in the UK is less than 31,000 pounds will need to return to their countries of origin. Only those with an income higher than this will be allowed to stay here permanently. Secondly, British citizens and residents who seek to marry foreign spouses need to show an annual income of around 25,000 pounds before they can bring their spouses here. The objective is to stop such foreign spouses seeking financial support from the state. The speech has already come under fire for allegedly focussing on "wealthy immigrants", and preventing young Britons with origins in the Indian sub-continent with limited income from marrying spouses from India, Pakistan, Bangladesh and other countries. In the speech at Police Exchange think-tank, Green said he wanted to build a "national consensus" around immigration, adding: "Importing economic dependency on the state is unacceptable. "Bringing people to this country who can play no role in the life of this country is equally unacceptable".

Occupy Auckland clampdown stalls
Efforts to evict Occupy Auckland protesters have come to a halt after some of the occupiers stood in the way of security guards trying to take their tents down.
Security guards acting on Auckland Council instructions began taking down tents from 8am on Monday at Aotea Square.
They showed little resistance at first but after three people were arrested by watching police for breaching the peace, protesters began standing their ground as the guards tried to dismantle more tents.
The security guards stopped their actions about 10.45am and limited their action to stopping the protesters putting new tents back up, attempts which at times became heated.
Three protesters sat undisturbed atop a three-metre high wooden tower erected in the square.
Attempts were also made to evict protesters at Occupy sites in Albert Park and Victoria Park.
Protester Joe Carolan of Unite Union said he was proud of the protesters after the security actions were halted.
He said they were ashamed Auckland Mayor Len Brown was not acting in their interests and said attempts would be made to occupy his office.
A posting on the Occupy group's Facebook page called for supporters to head to Aotea Square.
It promised the council it would not be the end of the protest.
"First they ignored us - then they ridiculed us - now they will try to fight us - then we will win," they posted.
The council, in a statement, said the protesters' gear was removed because it was interfering with plans for next month's Auckland Lantern Festival and the people of Auckland wanted their public spaces returned to them.
"People have a right to freedom of speech and protest, but not the right to camp indefinitely," the statement said.
Before Christmas, a judge ruled that the occupation breached a council bylaw banning camping and building structures in a public space without a permit.
